LaJollaGriz said:I am still waiting for somebody to address why NDSU pays players, but we don't. Is it because the BOR won't allow it? Just wondering.
Da Boyz Mom said:LaJollaGriz said:Both terms are from the same root word. A dominant team is dominant every week of the season, and because of their dominance they are able to dominate their opponent with consistent regularity.
Great use of proper English!! You may still want to fix your thread title, however, since that is still incorrect.
Griz Addict said:It helps getting great athletes... Kids want to play for a championship caliber team. That right there attracts top tier recruits. Win one and they will come for years, keep winning and you're settled for life. Unless something drastic happens and you lose scholarships because of the NCAA. The only way we won't have to worry about NDSU anymore is if one of us moves up or if they get hit by sanctions and scandals. That's basically the only way the mighty will fall. Or if they end up getting an extremely bad HC that the players don't like and they start bailing. I wouldn't hold my breathe for their downfall though.
LaJollaGriz said:Think about it, they play every year in the NC game. They have a 10-year W/L record better than every other team at any level, including Alabama. They have accomplished this with three different head coaches.
I have my thoughts on how they are able to keep this going every year, no matter who their head coach is:
1) They never change their system on offense or defense from coach-to-coach.
2) They focus on recruiting great offensive and defensive linemen, with the goal of dominating both lines-of-scrimmage every week
3) They play a run-first offensive style, with the run used to set-up the passing game
4) Because they are so good at running the football, they simply wear down teams as the game progresses. In looking at their second half scoring versus their opponents, it is way more one-sided than most any team I have witnessed. You might hang with them in the first half, but they will make you pay after half-time.
5) They recruit nationally. They have players from 16 states on their roster, including several from the recruiting meccas of Florida and Texas
Any other thoughts?

Which begs the question: Will Entz get an FBS job offer like his predecessors anytime soon? While he's obviously a good coach, he doesn't seem to have the same appeal as Bohl or Klieman.

Maybe that explains the braces.
LaJollaGriz said:Copper Griz said:In NDSU's case, a full-scholarship athlete will receive $3,400 per year to do as they wish-a figure set by the school's financial aid office. It is called. Pay to play and legal folks.
If this is legal, why aren't we doing it?

grizingatorland said:The only way NDSU falls off is if there is some kind of big violation. If you really wanted to beat NDSU you would need to play a little dirty. Hire people to watch them and make sure every possible violation or scandal at all is in the news. Maybe create a fake rape case. Make sure it's national news. Heck maybe you get lucky and some asshole writes a book about it. Does any of this seem familar?
No I hate the View and I'm actually happy NDSU won because I hate the cats but but if anyone wants to consitanly beat NDSU I feel they will have to derail the program and that won't be done on the field.Tony Clifton said:grizingatorland said:The only way NDSU falls off is if there is some kind of big violation.

I guess I missed that one. But again, why aren't we doing it too?
